Wintery summer or Summery Winter

[BLueLines]

okay, so now that it's winter I've finally got around to processing some of my IR shots from the summer. This is one of my faves. I took it with a Sony F717 and of course Hoya R72 and an ND8 attached as well. I thought it was kind of fitting now that winter is here, even though this was taken in the summer. Any comments appreciated.

Fantastic shot, would you mind sharing how you went about processing the shot?

what do you mean by IR ? infared?

That's wild! I really enjoy these shots. This one is particularly nice because it's well composed in addition to a good IR.

For my processing, I used levels first, then under hue/saturation, take the green channel saturation all the way down to the left (-100%). then on the master channel, I take the hue to anywhere from 40-60 depending on the effect desired. The saturation I take from 110-130, again depending. I tried swapping the red and blue channels, but never got good results with that. I then play with the contrast to make it pop a little more.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't thought about using Hue/Saturation with my infrared work. I've mostly made use of levels, and some processing with Camera Raw. Good work!
